www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... B: Good start to Connelly’s new Catalina series. Stilwell reminds me of a new version of Bosch.

170. DOJ's (Ridiculous) Misconduct Complaint Against Chief Judge Boasberg DOJ's complaint that Chief Judge Boasberg engaged in "misconduct" would be laughably stupid if it didn't reflect such a transparently obvious and dangerous attempt to delegitimize the federal courts.

Me on the factually misleading and analytically ridiculous misconduct complaint DOJ has filed against Chief Judge Boasberg—and the dangerousness of DOJ so openly trying to undermine public confidence in the only institution that has been even partially effective at checking the Trump administration:

www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... Outstanding book; an in-depth analysis of the history of economic warfare over the past thirty years or so. As with any kind of warfare, it is better to fight with allies and the US has been quite successful when working with allies based on trust.

www.goodreads.com/book/show/83... AB: Second time we’ve listened to this on a road trip. Well worth it, particularly in this era of national internecine strife. Stay close to your partner, but also be willing to forgive your foes. That may be tough with those that seem to be filled with hate.
